Crudo Raw Chocolate 100% Cocoa

Crudo is a specialized brand of organic raw chocolate produced by Cacao Crudo Srl, a company founded in Rome, Italy, in 2010 by Daniele dell'Orco. The brand is distinguished by its unique manufacturing process where cocoa beans are not roasted but instead dried at temperatures never exceeding 42°C. This 'cold' processing method is intended to preserve the natural organoleptic properties and nutrients of the high-quality Criollo cocoa beans, which are sourced from traditional plantations in the Peruvian Amazon.

While the company is headquartered in Rome, this specific product line is produced in Sicily, as indicated by the 'Made in Sicily' marking on the packaging. The brand focuses on ethical, sustainable, and health-conscious food production, ensuring all products are organic, vegan, and gluten-free. Cacao Crudo Srl remains the ultimate owner of the brand, reflecting its identity as an independent Italian artisan laboratory.
